DEBATE * USA - Cross-Border Trucking Plan Draws Criticism
Transportation Dept. Defends Its Safeguards
Washington,DC,USA -The Washington Post, by Leslie Miller/Associated Press -Feb 24, 2007: -- The news that Mexican trucks will be allowed to haul freight deeper into the United States drew an angry reaction yesterday from labor leaders, safety advocates and members of Congress... They said Mexico has substandard trucks and low-paid drivers that will threaten national security, cost thousands of jobs and endanger motorists on the northern side of the Mexican border... The Bush administration Thursday announced its plan to have U.S. inspectors oversee Mexican trucking companies that carry cargo across the border... Mexico responded to the U.S. announcement by saying it would allow trucks from 100 U.S. companies to travel across the border... The American Trucking Association said it supported the program but wanted to make sure that U.S. and Mexican truck companies were held to the same standards...
